[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 237276"] Lisa, mono is viral so there are no antibiotics. It just has to run it's course and you manage symptoms. I've known a couple of kids around here with mono and they had to be at school. If they have a doctor's excuse, they'll be allowed to miss. But, his teachers are already giving him carp about missing so much with this (I think he's missed 6 days in the month+ that he's had it). If he's going to be out, I can call to get his assignments, but often not all the teachers get this together and they need 24 hours notice. So, either he goes when he can or he will end up failing. But, I will call Admin on Monday and find out school policy to make sure. Often what teachers say and what policy is are different. I've already had mono - December, 2005. I didn't know it until 14 months later that that's what it was. I put it together when blood work revealed prior mono and I put the symptoms together. I had a recurrence of it in Spring, 2007, but that's when I was on steroids for so long because of an allergic reaction. I'm not drinking after him or anything like that. He and I both are funny about washing our hands - we wash our hands a gazillion times a day. I think I'll be ok. More than the mono, I'm just worried that he's been sick sooooo much since this summer. I suppose it's possible that he's had this since then. Some people have it a very long time and others, like one of Devon's friends, was only sick for a month. [/QUOTE]
